  • Experience building intuitive, extensible, well-documented APIs.

  • Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts, tooling, and engineering workflows.

  • Experience managing technical infrastructure across cloud-based and bare-metal environments.

  • Experience with observability, telemetry, and monitoring platforms such as Datadog.

  • Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Strong troubleshooting skills, including real-time debugging and deep log-based analysis.

  • Experience with performance analysis, operational metrics, and system reliability practices.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.

  • 6 or more years of relevant industry experience.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with hardware-in-the-loop test automation for embedded, robotics, or vehicle platforms.

  • Experience with workflow orchestration engines such as Temporal, AWS Step Functions, Airflow, or similar technologies.
